ImaginationSoft Uses Zang Cloud to Develop “Send SMS” Service

New service automatically converts emails to text messages, helping a Puerto Rican utility company reach its customers on multiple channels

SANTA CLARA, CA – December 07, 2016 – Zang Cloud, the industry’s first all-in-one cloud communications platform and applications-as-a-service, today announced that ImaginationSoft, a custom software development company in Puerto Rico specializing in the development of Mobile, Web, Cloud and Contact Center applications, utilized the Zang Cloud platform to create a cutting-edge SMS service for a Puerto Rico utility company and its 1.3 million customers.

In order to improve customer communication and drive faster payments, the company contacted ImaginationSoft looking for an enterprise grade email to SMS service. After evaluating other solutions in the market, ImaginationSoft selected Zang Cloud for its service, pricing and flexibility. Unlike some competitors, Zang Cloud could also ensure that every phone carrier in the country was supported to send and receive text messages through the service.

The “Send SMS” service is now converting and sending roughly 70,000 text messages to its customers per month, with volume continuing to grow.

“The technology is incredibly flexible and the Zang team was open to many different options, listening to our needs and providing exactly what we required to help our customers,” said Nelson Mejías, President of ImaginationSoft. “In the future, we plan to build more functions on top of Zang Cloud, and hope to roll out more applications that provide our customers with the best experiences.”

Today, SMS text messages have a phenomenal open rate of anywhere from 82 percent to 98 percent (compare that to just 22 percent for email). Independent software developers, like ImaginationSoft, all over the world are benefitting from accessing Zang Cloud to create increasingly robust communication solutions that serve the needs of the enterprise customer by improving productivity and lowering costs.
